<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Recently, visited a grocery store that stocks Anasazi
Beans, which was my only reason for being there. Outside on the public sidewalk,
in front of the store, was a man soliciting signatures for a ballot petition.
He was being berated by a 'uniformed' security employee. The petition gatherer
was calling 911. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">After making my purchases and returning to my vehicle, I
noticed a city policeman and the security employee talking to the petition
gatherer. Naturally I stopped and signed the petition. The security employee
started to say something and I turned and said, “This is a public sidewalk open
to the public. Fuck off!” The city policeman said not a word.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Do you think I should have asked what the petition was
for?</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">To add to the rant, I don’t like seeing policemen geared
up like some Special Warfare operator. I get even more irritated when I see
some ‘security employee’ emulating a police officer.</p>

Engineer Company we survived circa 1963 had a
permanent party SP 4 who enjoyed messing with us trainees. He was among his
other duties the Mail Clerk. Towards the end of the cycle we received our
orders for our next destination. Said clerk, at Revile, made a speech about how
we were to inform all our contacts of our new address. He emphasized he didn’t
want to be forwarding our mail; his time was too important!<p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In the classified ads in some tattered magazine being

from Ft Leonard Wood. Did I share my idea with others in my platoon? Does a

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Another memory of that time were trainees designated
acting NCOs. They wore a blue arm band with chevrons and had to be treated by
the rest of us like they were real NCOs. Some let their egos get out of hand, forgetting once the cycle was over they went back to being privates. That was
payback time. Were the permanent personnel going to take issue? Hell no! Just
ship the malcontents out and let their next duty station deal with them. Army
tradition.</p>

at the address where I’m sent. Said renter has no idea their landlord is in
default. I think there should be criminal, not just civil, consequences for
property owners who use rental income for purposes other than paying mortgages
and taxes. Profits, yes, do what you want.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p>In 2009 Congress passed the Mortgage Re-form and Predatory
Lending Act after the sub-prime collapse. Some modifications have been made
since but conflicts exist with state laws. I doubt many renters have the means
to hire lawyers and get into protracted legal battles.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This is why I believe there is a need for criminal
penalties. Perhaps someone with legal expertise can explain what can be done.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Gun Violence.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once again we see some state legislators feverishly working
on gun violence. What a waste of time. Per the FBI published reports, we have
an annual firearms death rate of about 80,000 per year in a country of
316,000,000 people. About half are suicides.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a crime problem. Criminals use guns, duh. Will
criminals obey even more draconian laws?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the time and energy expended by legislators posturing to
their voters, “Look, we are doing something!!!!”, takes away from tackling real
problems, like drugs. As an example, how many babies are born each week with
drugs in their systems just here in Greeley?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Legislators, let law enforcement deal with gun violence.

Highways</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Colorado highways across the mountains are inadequate, and
will always be inadequate. Winter increases the challenges.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">State law already decrees the left lane on four lane
highways is for passing, not travel. Rarely enforced, in my experience. Now two ‘legislators’
who live along I-70 and need to drive to Denver on business think they have a
solution to an intractable problem.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://coloradosun.com/2024/02/01/colorado-mountains-i-70-trucks-left-lane-rule/">MORE</a></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Commercial carriers pay taxes, too, a lot of taxes and
are as entitled to use the highways as anyone. I’ve no problem with requiring
everyone using the highways to be equipped to deal with the conditions.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Driving anywhere involves delays. Trucks taking miles to
pass another truck with a 2 mph difference in speed governors is a frequent nuisance.
Two elected officials being delayed in traffic doesn’t warrant more burdensome
regulations, IMO.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihyp97TZmp6bzZKYMuRkltDALNLmzDebVez9E7j4xOKGpjNuBni4anO0p5JcfEHIY4qqImIimGp0EVN54f5RKEU5xwNwF3B0rbaKsRdOiJAQBPi_JFD_Cbf4uCzaFCa7ZjzlFRE4qnnM_oNRSaiJmFEXQPDwLoxIgMEqEyTsSFPSVliytqIdM8y3tT2iA/s215/download%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="148" data-original-width="215" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihyp97TZmp6bzZKYMuRkltDALNLmzDebVez9E7j4xOKGpjNuBni4anO0p5JcfEHIY4qqImIimGp0EVN54f5RKEU5xwNwF3B0rbaKsRdOiJAQBPi_JFD_Cbf4uCzaFCa7ZjzlFRE4qnnM_oNRSaiJmFEXQPDwLoxIgMEqEyTsSFPSVliytqIdM8y3tT2iA/s1600/download%20(1).jpg" width="215" /></a></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: red;">More Nanny State b.s. </span>Tax

degeneration I gave away all my long arms, those not lost in the boating
accident, to those who would use them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I used back in the day was a .30-40
Kraig, .30-30 Model 94, a .308 Mannlicher and a 20 gauge Stevens single shot. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The last paragraph of the article is the definitive answer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My absolute favorite? The M1 Garand I shot in basic
training. Not pretty, probably had been rebuilt many times, but I hit what I
aimed at. Qualifying, I missed one target for sure, 25 yards, 5 second
duration, went high. The other target, 350 yards, 10 second duration, the
scorer missed because of the heavy rain. I damn well hit that target.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The rifle I disliked, intensely, was the M-14 I carried in
Germany. I’ve since learned two manufactures made them. One used a M14 production line modified from M1s. The other built a new line from scratch. The
one I was issued was a p.o.s. Accurate, yes. Reliable, no.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Sven and Oley were sitting in a Seattle Ballard Bar one
winter day and looking at an advertisement.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“All inclusive cruise to Mexico, $99”. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Being thrifty Norskies, they signed up and paid their
money. Soon they found themselves chained to benches rowing a longboat. As they
rowed the days did get warmer until they arrived off Mexican coast. They were
told to stand, look, then they were told, </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“That is Mexico”. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Next they started rowing North until, after several
harrowing days, they arrived at Ballard.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Sven”, asked Oley, “Should we tip them?”</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Hell no”, said Sven. “We didn’t last year”.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p>Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood population was once
heavily Scandinavian. When we first moved to Seattle in the 70’s we rented a
house in the Magnolia neighborhood just South of Ballard. Coming home one
afternoon, my first generation Norwegian wife started telling me about
discovering Ballard.</p>

cooking filled the 2<sup>nd</sup> floor with smoke.<p></p>

pipes in unoccupied apartments. We had three hours of continuous alarms.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">With four floors, elevators not working, and most

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Recently, discussing a subject with a young couple, I
shared what old timers had to say about the subject. Suddenly it dawned on me
that, to that couple, I am an old timer. That is not my mental image of myself.
</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Too often nowadays I am reminded that I am old. Eyesight,
cognitive lapses, lost dexterity and slowed walk are daily reminders. Pain, not
so much, since it has been part of my life since my thirties.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I’m not complaining. Life happens, deal with it. I’m
grateful I can still work. My first paying job was at age 5 doing chores for a
widow. I’ve been working all my life and am not sure I can ‘retire’, whatever
that is.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In 2024 I will turn 80. On both sides of my family, if
cancer doesn’t take them, relatives live into their 90’s and even 100’s. I don’t
fear death. I do fear living in a care facility dependent on others for my well
being. I want to control my destiny. Fate will win, but I can put up on hell of
a fight!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvtqWKF2qNWjE9m2ZCPVcQ6DHBmhYd1r3f8Y4pfGsgK_H4yHBfOun814iFYfh0k_uxS6884yv6JKxJzPkMCtzcFT1e-WVLzQZUPsASkDm501PNlGs2VhFnoDQX6cOK1HJaBJpzzPL5ZQUEOqcGEtscg4QfIz32ADJgmPba7hbS6cZsKg22FiJjFvMpxvw/s287/download.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="279" data-original-width="287" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvtqWKF2qNWjE9m2ZCPVcQ6DHBmhYd1r3f8Y4pfGsgK_H4yHBfOun814iFYfh0k_uxS6884yv6JKxJzPkMCtzcFT1e-WVLzQZUPsASkDm501PNlGs2VhFnoDQX6cOK1HJaBJpzzPL5ZQUEOqcGEtscg4QfIz32ADJgmPba7hbS6cZsKg22FiJjFvMpxvw/s1600/download.jpg" width="287" /></a></div><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Copied off Falsebook</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Many years ago Colorado license plates became reflective.
That helps drivers to see parked cars at night, if nothing more. Now the state,
for more money (ya sure ya betcha) will give you a solid black, red, blue or green
plate with white letters. They are popular. Not for me, I’ll stick with gives
me even a small margin of safety.</p>

During the Nixon presidency the economy was in shambles. Among other bad moves,
he was able to take us off the gold standard and allow the Federal Reserve to
start printing money. The construction industry, where I was deeply involved,
especially suffered. Finally, I took out bankruptcy, but with a twist. I found
a book, “Bankruptcy for Fun and Profit”. Following the author’s advice, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>along with <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a glorious six month period when the federal
government was partially shut down (including the bankruptcy courts), used ways
to stay under bankruptcy protection for nearly two and a half years. No house
payments, no car payments, monies moved to an Alberta private company, etc. The
lenders had fits and my first lawyers quit on me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things were tough and I worked several
different jobs but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, vehicles to
drive, etc. In the aftermath I learned how to live without credit and have

this. I am a retired aerospace engineer. A literal rocket scientist if you
will. I worked on MX (Peacekeeper) Space Shuttle, Hubble, Brilliant Pebbles,
PACOSS, Space Station, MMU, B2, the Sultan of Brunei's half billion dollar
private 747 with crystal showers, gold sinks and 100 dollar a yard coiffed silk
carpets. I designed a satphone installation on prince Jeffry's 757. I did all
of the design work for the structure of Mark 1V propulsion module currently
flying on at least 3 spacecraft that I know of. Some of the more exciting
projects I have worked on are not shareable. My personal projects include a
spin fishing reel with a 4.5 inch spool which is entirely my own designed,
machined and assembled. It has 2 features that are patentable. A unique true
flat level wind and a unique line pickup mechanism. I am also am FAA certified
glider pilot and FAI certified gold glider pilot. I fly both full scale and
model sailplanes. I am Microsoft certified and ComTIA A+ certified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

They convert
almost 0% of the UV light that hits them. None of the visible spectrum and only
some of the IR spectrum. At the same time as they are absorbing light they are
absorbing heat from the sun. This absorbed heat is radiated into the adjacent
atmosphere. It should be obvious what happens next. When air is warmed it
rises. Even small differences in ordinary land surfaces are capable of creating
powerful forces of weather like thunderstorms and tornadoes. These weather
phenomena are initiated and reinforced by land features as they are blown
downwind. It is all too obvious to me what will happen with the heat generated
by an entire solar farm. Solar farms will become thunderstorm and tornado
incubators and magnets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

above them when they are not being radiated. This is known as black-body
radiation. Satellites flying in space use this phenomenon to cool internal
components. If they didn't do this they would fry themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

original land that they were installed on, but they also produce more cooling
in winter, thus exacerbating weather extremes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

terms the dealer receives a vehicle and starts making payments, usually 10% of

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A savvy buyer can make a better deal on a vehicle the
dealer has had in inventory a long time. There is no exact way to know this.
However, at the bottom of the ‘window sticker’ you should be able to locate the
month and year of manufacture. Inside the drivers door are placards showing
weights and other information along with the month and date the vehicle was
built.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Almost all big ticket items (boats, Rvs, farm equipment,
etc.) will be on a floor plan.</p>
